I am not sure this even qualifies as a recipe as it is only TWO ingredients, so simple and so delicious! I had planned on making this recipe one evening, so I put the sauce on the shrimp to marinade that morning, well …..I did not make the shrimp that night but made it the next evening, I was worried that the sauce would completely overwhelm the shrimp, but that was not the case! The shrimp were so good… I cannot wait to make them again!
INGREDIENTS
1 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined (tail on or off)
1 bottle Frank’s Red Hot Sweet Chili Sauce
Skewers, that have been soaked in water
DIRECTIONS
Place the shrimp in a container and cover with the sauce. I used about half of the bottle. Let marinate for up to 24 hours. When getting ready to grill, skewer the shrimp and grill over medium heat until the shrimp turn pink. Take off the grill and Enjoy!
We LOVE roasted vegetables ! Roasted asparagus is one of our favorites! Crisp, sweet, tender , oh so good! Then drizzled with reduced balsamic vinegar…that takes it over the top! The reduced vinegar gives it such a sweet taste. You can buy reduced balsamic vinegar in some store’s but I keep it simple and reduce my own. It is just as simple as taking one cup of balsamic vinegar and reducing it over medium heat ! IT should coat the back of a spoon. (I find it takes about 10-15 minutes)
INGREDIENTS
1 bunch of thin asparagus
Salt
Pepper
Olive oil
DIRECTIONS
Turn oven to broil, keeping the door ajar. Trim asparagus, place on baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil, keeping door ajar and stirring a couple of times until asparagus is browned slightly and crisp! Drizzle with reduced balsamic vinegar.
Enjoy,
